Hello,

As many of you know, several members their accounts were recently compromised.

This might look fishy and odd, but don't doubt MCM's security as it's your very own mistake.

On several forums, there are large leaked databases going around. Databases with plan emails and passwords. Most of you use a single password for everything. This is the worst you can do. This is probably how most of these accounts got compromised. The breacher used your old leaked passwords.

I highly suggest changing all your passwords.
Not only limited to MCM since the chances are quite high your password is out there too.
And as stated in the announcement, enable 2 factor authentication as that will slow down or completely stop the person that's trying to get in to your account.

Thanks for reading and spread the word!

Ajdin You should include something about setting up the double login factor since that was fixed within the last 2 months to add an extra layer of protection to an individual’s account.

Everyone, use the password generators, make passwords that have like 25 characters, it's almost impossible to crack unless they hack the database.

Almost impossible to remember also, haha. But honestly this is what I have done.
